A Note From Our Founders: Why We Renamed Dew Drops

A Note From Our Founders: Why We Renamed Dew Drops

If you've been with us for a while, you know how much love went into creating our Dew Drops serum. It was one of the first products we ever launched. Over the past five years, it’s become a staple in skincare routines across North America.

That’s why writing this note feels bittersweet.

Today, we’re saying goodbye to the name Dew Drops and welcoming a new chapter: Jelly Drops.

Before we go any further, we want to reassure you—the formula you know and love isn’t changing. It’s still the same lightweight, fast-absorbing serum made with Tremella Mushroom and Kakadu Plum. It still gives your skin that instant boost of hydration and fresh, dewy finish. The only change is the name.

So, why rename something that’s worked so well?

The truth is, this wasn’t something we planned. The word “dew” is widely used in skincare, and over time, our product name no longer stood out the way it once did. On top of that, with similarly named products already in the market, securing a trademark for Dew Drops became increasingly difficult.

Like many small businesses, we’ve learned just how important trademarks are, especially for our hero products. Trademarks give us the legal rights to use and protect a product name. Without one, a brand can face copycats, legal challenges, or even be forced to stop selling under a certain name. For us, protecting this product and your experience with it was non-negotiable.

That said, changing the name of a bestseller is scary. This serum has become one of the most-loved products in our line, and it’s been a key part of how people discover Three Ships. There’s always a risk in making a big change to something people trust and rely on. We felt the weight of that, deeply.

Still, we also saw an opportunity.

We had just completed clinical testing that confirmed what so many of you already knew - this serum works. And we kept hearing how much people loved its jelly-soft texture. So, with your input, we chose a name that captures what makes this product truly special.

Jelly Drops is fresh, fun, and memorable. It reflects the real results, the unique texture, and the love that’s gone into this formula from the very beginning.

To everyone who shared input or voted on the new name, thank you! You helped turn a tough moment into something fresh and exciting.

It’s never easy to change something you love. But we’re incredibly proud of what Jelly Drops represents and even more excited for the future. Thank you for all your support!

With gratitude,

Laura + Connie

    I have been struggling with balancing my sensitive and changing aging skin (59) for a few years. When I started using the Three ships line 4 months ago I instantly saw an improvement and my skin has never been this calm and stable in years. I love the feel and appearance of my skin. The product goes a long way and smells wonderful. I won’t be changing brands again. Thank you !

    I’ve been using the products for almost two years now. I won’t use anything else! The Dew Drops, now Jelly Drops, have been one of my favourite products. They will continue to be a main purchase!

    I have been using Jelly Drops and many of your other products since January and couldn’t be happier with the softness and hydrated appearance of my skin. I love that all products are made with natural ingredients and was developed with women from Canada. I am in my 80s and would recommend to all with aging skin.

    Great name change. 😉

    I’ve been using your products for over 4 years and can’t imagine using anything else. People are always saying I look 10 years younger and I’m sure it is because of all your great products. I also love thst you are based in Canada and a women run organization! Thank you.
